Ingredients

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1 cup whole milk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup boiling water
1 package (3.9 oz) instant chocolate pudding mix
2 cups heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup powdered sugar
Chocolate shavings or curls for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Add Wet Ingredients: Add the eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla to the dry ingredients. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes. Stir in the boiling water until well combined.
Bake the Cakes: Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
Prepare the Filling: In a medium bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and 2 cups of cold milk until thickened. Set aside.
Make Whipped Cream: In a separate bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
Assemble the Cake: Once the cakes are completely cooled, place one layer on a serving plate. Spread the chocolate pudding filling over the top. Place the second layer on top and frost the entire cake with whipped cream.
Garnish: Decorate with chocolate shavings or curls if desired. Chill the cake for at least 1 hour before serving.
